------- Additional Comments From mikos@esc.net.au 2007-06-06 22:11 ------- I think this bug should be re-classified again to critical.
In my experience, using Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 with WINE 0.9.38, I can confirm that BabasChess (version 3.6 Build 8364) will crash sometimes after long periods (a few hours) or sometimes only a few minutes. I have had it crash when making moves, selecting from menus, closing boards, and even leaving the game for long periods with the board on top with a game/games loaded.
Steps to reproduce: open the program, connect to FICS (using timeseal or not), and play/observe a few games (click on stuff).
Note - I tried connecting as guest but the program wouldn't crash, but maybe I hadn't played long enough.
Note - It does NOT matter whether wine is executing wine path/to/BabasChess/BabasChess.exe or cd path/to/BabasChess then wine BabasChess.exe the program still crashes seemingly randomly (possibly with different reasons).
For the latter I have included two attachments - before the crash and after the crash. This is just the terminal output. Sorry if I have created an attachments in the wrong place.
There seems to be (to me anyway) problems associated with the program loading board images sometimes (causing the program to crash). I am using bitmaps for the pieces but I wonder if simply getting the vector pieces to load properly would fix this - the state of the vector pieces shows a certain level of incompatibility in itself. I could be completely wrong about this though.
If it's not this then it could be a problem with using different dlls. I have a dual boot with XP(SP2) and one of the places wine looks for dlls is my actual C:\Windows... directories.
